UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

ISAAC BALES, OF HICKSVILLE, OHIO.

COMBINED HOUSE VENTILATOR AND REGISTER.

SPECIFICATION forming' part of Letters Patent No. 232,166, datedSeptember 14, leso.

Application led'Deceinbe/r 3, 1879.

1" o all whom 'it 'may concern Be it known that I, ISAAC BALES, acitizen of the United States, residing at Hicksville, in the county ofDefiance and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in a Combined House Ventilator and Register; and I dohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and eXact descriptionot theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit appertains to make and use the same, reference heilig had to theaccompanying drawings, and to letters ot' reference marked thereon,which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to that class ot inventions known as combined houseventilators and registers, and it consists in the novel construction andarrangement ot' the several parts, which will be hereinafter more fullydescribed.

Figure l represents a erosssection of my improved ventilator andregister, taken in line m w. Fig. 2 represents a vertical sectional viewof the same. Figs. 3 and 4 represent detail views.

A represents the ceiling' ot' a room, and B indicates the floor above,between which is the space C.

E represents the casing or cylinder, placed in the space C, betweentheceiling A and the tioor B, and provided with open spaces c. Saidcasing E has at its lower end a suitable registering disk, D, which isprovided with a revolving` or registering disk, d, that registerstherewith; and at the upper portion ot' said casing, and above the tioorB, is a grated plate, F, having openings j".

G represents a cylinder, somewhat smaller in size than the cylinder E,and placed within said cylinder, and provided with openings g,corresponding in size to the openings c in said casing. Said cylinder Cris constructed in such a manner as to allow the same to be bottoniless,and at the upper portion thereof the same is made in the shape of aregistering disk, and has extending therefrom vertically a pin or rod,c2, that passes up through a slot, a', in the plate F, aforesaid.

The cylinder G above mentioned is pivoted at a in the center of aregistering plate, H, that has openings h, to correspond to the spaces gin the upper portion of the cylinder G.

Having thus fully described the different parts of which my ventilatorand register is constructed, I will now proceed to give the manner inwhich the same is operated.

When it is desired to draw the heat from a room below to the upper roomabove, the register d is opened and the cylinder Cr is revolved upon thepivot ci by means of the pin or rod a2. This movement has the effect ofclosing the openings c in the cylinderl, by means ot' the solid portionbetween the spaces g g of the cylinder Gr coming in contact with saidopenings c, thereby closing the same at the same time.

The open spaces g' in the upper portion of the cylinder Gr register.with corresponding spaces 7L in the plate II, hereinbefore mentioned.

By this arrangement of the. parts the heat is allowed to escape from thelower room through the casing E, and ont through spaces fin the plate F.

To shut ot't' the heat the register h is closed by means of the rod a2,and the register d is also closed.

To ventilate the room below, the register d should be opened and thecylinder Gr revolved to allow the openings or spaces g c to register onewith the other. By this movement of said cylinder the register h isclosed, thus allowing all the foul or impure air arising from the roombelow to enterthe casing E through the register d and out the sideopenings, c, in the easing E at'oresaid, thus entering the space C,between the ceiling A and the floor B, and at the saine time preventingany impure air from entering the room above.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is

In a register for heating and ventilating purposes, the cylinder G,constructed as described, having registering openings g g', pivoted at ato the plate H, and provided with similar openings li., operated bymeans of the rod or pin a2 in the manner shown, in combination with thecasing E, having registering openings c, andregister d, the wholeconstructed and operating in the manner shown and described, and-for thepurposes specified.
